Franz Schubert Quotes

Happy is the man who finds a true friend, and far happier is he who finds that true friend in his wife.

My compositions spring from my sorrows. Those that give the world the greatest delight were born of my deepest griefs.

No one feels another's grief, no one understands another's joy. People imagine they can reach one another. In reality they only pass each other by.

When I wished to sing of love, it turned to sorrow. And when I wished to sing of sorrow, it was transformed for me into love.

There is no such thing as happy music.

I am in the world only for the purpose of composing.
